Linking to notes/images in vault

  • Web link (URL displayed as-is, $ for formatting only)
• $[obsidian](http://obsidian.md)$
  • Web link (display text in brackets)

Obsidian URL

Obsidian URIs typically follow this format:

Where action specifies the operation and value are parameters.
Example for opening a note:

Note: Use correct brackets/colons (Chinese/English)
Example:
Open Calculus
Here, path requires absolute file path.

• Open vault (folder only, no specific file)
  $$[name](obsidian://open?vault=vault_name/vault_ID)$$
  Open Notes Folder
• Open Calculus under Math folder (.md extension optional)
  Calculus

Others

• Escape spaces in URLs as %20

  • The % in %20 must be escaped as \%

• Alternatively, wrap space-containing content with <>

• Blockquote
  

  $$> Quoted content$$

  
  

  $$\ Source$$

  
  Example:

Time is a one-way journey; both good and bad are scenery.

• Inline code
  #include<stdc++.h>

• Code block
  Obsidian recognizes content wrapped in six backticks as code blocks and formats them accordingly. Code blocks support syntax highlighting—declare the language on the first line (after opening backticks) for specific highlighting.

#include<stdc++.h>  
using namespace std;  
int main(){  
    int a=1;  
    for(int b=2;b<10;b++){  
        a+=b;  
        cout<<a<<endl;  
    }  
    return 0;  
}
